Going through the trouble of implementing CGNAT and skipping IPv6 seems like a partially degraded service for the end user though. It's becoming common practice for ISPs to slap all the users between two layers of NAT and calling it a day. You can't run essentially anything on your network (not even an SSH server) without having to have a server on standby and reverse tunnels. I know there are not enough IPv4s but at least let me having the option to pay for one. Or, you know, give me an IPv6. Otherwise it's practically a networked content consumption service at this point. It's 2021, the "IPv6 is complicated" excuse must stop at some point.
- martinald 6y agoHonestly, it's not that complicated to set up a L2TP or VPN tunnel to a server with routable inbound IP traffic. Most people who would know how to set up port forwarding could probably set it up. I think even some routers support it built in now.
- BenjiWiebe 6y agoThat is additional latency, especially if you can't find a VPS near your ISP.
- martinald 6y agoFair point but starlink ground stations are all near major PoPs where you won't struggle to find one.
